Light Truck Tires or L/T.

brands)

Light truck tires are constructed for load carrying purposes which makes
them great for touring with caravans or any none off road type traveling, as this
type of tire will limit off roading capabilities very significant when compared
to all terrains/off road.

This type of tire is what comes as a
standard with most 4 wheel drives, L/T's are made for the black top or highway
but handle very well on beach sand and are ok on gravel.

Tread pattern is usually shallow depending on which brand.

The tires are stronger than regular
car tires in general and have far stronger side walls which assist in carrying
heavy payloads.

The side walls however are not meant for off roading and will
be prone to sharp rocks and sticks.

Most people that buy a 4x4 don’t actually
take them off road, ever! That’s why most 4x4 ute’s and some wagons roll out of
the factory on light truck rubber as these vehicles are most suited for it.

L/T tires are very quiet on the
highways/roads and handle better compared to off road tires.
